Project+2+Plan+Phase

=Survival Podcast Tour =

**General Topic:** Survival **Specific Topic:** Supplies for survival **Audience:** 7th and 8th graders **Type of Activity:** Podcast Tour

Students will watch two podcasts. The podcasts will consist of tips to survive in the outdoors. This project will build from project one and will give students a chance to reflect on what they considered to be essential to surviving.
 * Topic Overview: **

Students will have the entire class period to complete this project. Students will use the laptops from the computer cart to watch to two podcasts. At the conclusion of watching two podcasts, students will write a paragraph reflecting on the two podcasts.
 * Task: **

Students will log into the computers. There will be two podcasts for students to view. Students will only need to spend about 10-15 minutes to view the podcasts. They will have the remainder of the class period to complete the reflection paper.
 * Process/Guidance: **

Students will be graded on two things, their reflective creative thinking and grammar. Students will have the opportunity to earn extra credit on this project. To earn extra credit, the student must find one podcast about survival tips for camping or hiking. They will write a brief description of this podcast. The teacher will compile a list of the podcasts with their descriptions for the class to view at their own leisure.
 * Evaluation: **

I choose to have the students complete a podcast tour to allow them to reflect their decisions from project one with others' opinions. I would assume several students would choose typical items such as a knife, compass, matches. They may overlook very important items on their rescue trip. They may also not be aware of some survival tools. By viewing the podcasts those students can reflect on what they thought were important. The reflection paper can be used to compare their list and possibly discuss what they would change.
